NW58: Pulse on Prevention: The Critical Link Between ACEs and Heart Disease
Cardiovascular disease is the single greatest driver of Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) associated healthcare cost in North America. Yet, practitioners are poorly equipped to screen for ACEs, or provide education around the role of toxic stress physiology in their patients' disease process. This presentation will help fill that knowledge gap and make practitioners more confident in developing an effective trauma-sensitive treatment plan.
